About Hexanol:
1-Hexanol, an organic compound, is an alcohol made up of a chain of 6-carbon atoms. This colourless liquid is slightly miscible in water whereas it readily dissolves in ether as well as ethanol. The other two straight-chain isomers of 1-hexanol are 2-hexanol and 3-hexanol, both of which differ based on the placement of the hydroxyl group.

Production Processes:
- Production of Hexanol via Oligomerisation of Ethylene; and via Hydroformylation of 1-Pentene
To produce Hexanol via oligomerisation, ethylene is used as a starting material. In this process, ethylene is oligomerised with the help of triethylaluminium, followed by the oxidation of alkylaluminium products. This method results in the formation of a range of oligomers that are finally separated through distillation to obtain the desired product.
